    Best Anti Virus

    The best antivirus to me is your own brain (I don't have software). As a computer geek (builder/programmer) I'll tell u the thing about virus codes: Malcious code can be built faster/before someone can write a code to stop it. By the time AV progs can defend against new threats, user(s)...

    What's your Exit Strategy

    The only thing I don't understand is why you wouldn't want to take a trade off if you witnessed the third peak (in the example). The demonstratrion of a higher low, and then a break of the previous peak would demonstrate the markets desire to rise wouldn't it? It sounds like your stats show...

    What's your Exit Strategy

    I have been trying to figure out a way to exit a trade the best point. The way everyone teaches or explains is some sort of trailing method (for trend following), via visualization or close above/below moving avg etc. This works well at times, but other times will get you stopped out right...

    Stock value & insolvency?

    I'm not all that savvy about how stocks work, but I do know that if your stock has lost half of it's value in 2 years that can't be a good thing. The charts of the banks that blew up the economy in the last few years look hauntingly similar to my broker's. Should I withdrawl my measley 10k...

    Billion Dollar Trading Losses: Is Biology to Blame?

    It's actually more of a blend. Perhaps you need to read some more on Kelly: Reasons to bet less than Kelly - A natural assumption is that taking more risk increases the probability of both very good and very bad outcomes. One of the most important ideas in Kelly is that betting...

    insider trading

    Nice try robert, but... he's probably not a millionaire. It's going to be tougher for him if he is convicted because he likely doesn't have a cult followign. Once you are labeled as a criminal in society, you have to overcome the stigma for regular employment. If you are a good trader...

    Billion Dollar Trading Losses: Is Biology to Blame?

    You ignored the point I was trying to make, which is betting disproportionately to your risk capital. Buffett has net worth of $44B so risking $1B at a time isn't that big a deal, especially since he is a long term player, and probably doesn't put that $1B all in the same investment. So I...

    Billion Dollar Trading Losses: Is Biology to Blame?

    Lol.... ??? How about there is no reason to risk $1b on any 1 bet, unless you have $100b? I don't think it's a biological problem. It's an ignorance problem....

    Another example of HFT "bad behavior"

    From Martin Schwartz in The Market Wizards: ... Also, I hate the specialist system; they are always trying to con you to death. I'll give you my view on specialists: Never in my life have I met a less talented group of people who make a disproportionately large amount of money relative to...

    How Do You Determine the Long-term Trend?

    I used to struggle with this... but then I realized (through education) it doesn't really matter. All that matters is that you have a well defined plan/edge and you follow it. There are as many methods as there are traders. To me trend is up if we are trading above a 20 period EMA.

    ES profit taking method for scalping?

    I've been testing something lately that consistently nets 2 ES pts either direction. Got it from guy trading it since 1982....Who got it from someone trading in the 70's... I'd consider this a scalp. The only way to scalp to me is have a high probability trade with a set target and stop...
